Our office bearers

We are grateful to God that he has given us godly men who have the necessary gifts to serve as elders and deacons in the Reformed Church Tshwane. We pray that by these means, “true religion will be preserved; true doctrine will be able to take its course; evil men will be corrected spiritually and held in check and that also the poor and all the afflicted may be helped and comforted according to their need” (Belgic Confession Article 30).
